Available to hire
Hi, I’m Tariq Paskel—an imaginative, performance-driven creative strategist with 7+ years in a high-volume direct-to-consumer portfolio. I own the creative testing engine end-to-end: hypothesis development, structured A/B testing, briefs, production, and performance analysis for paid social campaigns across multiple brands.
I translate customer psychology and funnel data into hooks, scripts, and concepts that win on Meta and beyond, then turn results into repeatable systems and briefs that scale. I’m comfortable leading creative teams and speaking the language of CTR, CVR, CPA, and ROAS with stakeholders.
